God has many characteristics that can be attributed to no mortal being. He is omniscient, omnipowerful, and omnipresent. The word “omni” means “all.” God is all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present. He is everywhere at the same time. God is in the rose and among the thorns on the leafy stem. He is in the butterfly when it bursts forth from its cocoon and spreads its wings. He is in the first breath drawn by a newborn baby and the last gasp of a dying saint. He is in the homeless shelter and the palaces of kings. He makes himself available in the crack house as well as the church house. He walks unrecognized beside us on the road to redemption and reveals himself to us when we seek for him with all our hearts. God is in the here and now and the then and there. God is everywhere all the time. Everywhere. All the time. He offers himself to us at every turn because his desire is to live in our hearts. Wherever we go, we are in the presence of God. We think he is invisible, but only if we fail to look. Do you see him?

“And they were calling to one another: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory" (Isaiah 6:3, NIV).

Prayer: Lord, open our eyes that we may see your glory in all the earth. Help us to recognize you in the faces of friends and strangers and in the beauty of nature. Let your light shine in our lives so that others may see you in us. Amen.
